Abstract
In a source computing system having a source management infrastructure, at least one source infrastructure management component is discovered. A description of a target cloud infrastructure having a target management infrastructure is obtained. The description includes at least one mandatory target infrastructure management component. The at least one source infrastructure management component is analyzed to determine whether at least one conflict exists with the at least one mandatory target infrastructure management component.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- discovering, in a source computing system having a source management infrastructure, at least one source infrastructure management component, wherein said at least one source infrastructure management component is an instance of an image, and wherein said at least one source infrastructure management component is running in a customer environment;
- querying a database to obtain a description of a target cloud infrastructure;
- analyzing said at least one source infrastructure management component using said description of said target cloud infrastructure to determine that said at least one source infrastructure management component is appropriate for infrastructure configuration mapping to said target cloud infrastructure;
- stopping an application executing on said at least one source infrastructure management component determined appropriate for infrastructure configuration mapping;
- and
- capturing said at least one source infrastructure management component determined appropriate for infrastructure configuration mapping for migration to said target cloud infrastructure.
A method comprising:
- discovering, in a source computing system having a source management infrastructure, at least one source infrastructure management component, wherein said at least one source infrastructure management component is an instance of an image, and wherein said at least one source infrastructure management component is running in a customer environment;
- querying a database to obtain a description of a target cloud infrastructure;
- analyzing said at least one source infrastructure management component using said description of said target cloud infrastructure to determine that said at least one source infrastructure management component is appropriate for infrastructure configuration mapping to said target cloud infrastructure,
- wherein:
- in said discovering step, said at least one source infrastructure management component comprises at least one of:
- at least one source infrastructure management client;
- at least one source infrastructure management server;
- at least one source infrastructure management configuration;
- and
- at least one source infrastructure management log;
- in said querying step, said description of said target cloud infrastructure comprises at least one of:
- cloud infrastructure software standards;
- and
- cloud infrastructure software configurations;
- said analyzing comprises:
- matching said cloud infrastructure software standards with at least a corresponding one of:
- said at least one source infrastructure management client;
- and
- said at least one source infrastructure management server;
- and
- mapping said cloud infrastructure software configurations with said at least one source infrastructure management configuration determined appropriate for infrastructure configuration mapping.
